Well this sounds like fun: Duke will be making massive upgrades to Wallace Wade Stadium. The ancient arena, now 85 (it was built in 1929, before Duke Chapel and the original Duke Hospital), has needed a facelift for a long time. It's going to get a good one.

The track will go, the playing field will be lowered, new seats are coming and the Finch-Yeager building is going to be torn down and replaced with something a good bit slicker.

It's another sign of Duke's recommitment to football and the program's subsequent rebirth.
